Evaluation on the entire Project

This is my evaluation on the entire project in total. My investigation task was good since I listed the advantages and disadvantages to all the software. I justified my softwares. I also used Harvard referencing into my work in my investigation task. The advantages and disadvantages of the 3 softwares Excel, Access and Oracle was all shown in the Investigation task.I also listed the design specification but also talked about essential and desirable components of my database that I will create. I added a time plan. I also evaluated the resources that I have listed. In my opinion I think I achieved a high range of potential in my work. Overall my database was very complex compared to my design. I added some input masks and added criteria like yes and no into my criteria in my availability design format. My database creation was displayed according to the design. I uploaded all my reflections on the tasks on my blog below. 

Criteria C: Creating the solution

My work seems quite complete. I took screenshots of my work as I continued to progress furthermore. Most importantly I took 9 screenshots in different views like design view, datasheet view, report view etc. I used some complex features in my database like list box and drop down menu in it. I also added some field properties in design views. However I think I could have done better as I worked by adding more features to my work to make it look more interesting. Overall my database was good. 

Criterion B: Developing Ideas Reflection

My design is quite decorated with more colors added to it. So I feel happy that I reached my goal. However if I compare my actual work to the Design I think I can do much better. I created the gantt chart adding all the topics that I need to complete in the specific time. I named all my global contexts relating to my project. I created my design tables, queries, forms and reports.     

Criteria A: Inquiring and Analyzing Reflection

My criteria A known as inquiring and analyzing was quite detailed with all the information needed including disadvantages and advantages but also comparing all the softwares needed.Therefore I feel that I have reached my potential by adding as much detail i can add to it. I believe that I can still do more and try to make my work look more interesting by adding more images to it and adding colors.

Criterion B: Developing Ideas


For this task I am intending to plan my database. The planning will be about tables, queries, forms and reports that are all required in a database. My decision was to create a database for a client who owns a gaming store. His store is called Games-Stop which means to have a break and take a look inside.
